this is the point where two plates meet.

a)

Plates

b)

Tectonic Plates

c)

Plate Boundaries

2.

A movement that is characterized by moving of plates away from each other where the direction of the plate is opposite from each other that results into separation.

a)

Converging movement

b)

Diverging movement

c)

Transform movement

3.

A movement where two plates either slide past each other in opposite directions or at different speed that results into a fault, and there will be energy build up as the plates grind on one another.

a)

converging movement

b)

diverging movement

c)

transform movement

4.

A movement that is characterized by moving of plates towards each other where the direction of the movement of the plate is opposite towards each other that results into collision.

a)

converging movement

b)

diverging movement

c)

transform movement

5.

It is the movement of two oceanic plates away from each other specifically at a divergent plate boundary, that results in the formation of new oceanic crust arising from the magma that comes from the internal Earth’s mantle that occurs along a mid- ocean ridge.

a)

continental spreading

b)

seafloor spreading

c)

lithosphere spreading

6.

A type of divergent boundary wherein it produces rifts, which eventually become rift valleys.

a)

continental - continental divergence

b)

oceanic - oceanic divergence

7.

This is created when two continents are stretched and the crust is thinned.

a)

valley

b)

rift

c)

rift valley

8.

A type of divergent boundary wherein it creates a volcano when magma rises in the fissures created in the divergence of two oceanic crusts.

a)
